SKAN HOLZ Friesland carport
The Friesland 546 x 708 cm carport offers a high-quality, durable and functional solution for covered car parking or as a sheltered outdoor area. The stable structure of impregnated softwood combined with a robust EPDM roof covering ensures weather resistance and low maintenance while maintaining a natural look.
- Exterior dimensions 546 x 708 cm: ideal for one or two cars or as a covered parking area
- Structure: Solid, impregnated spruce wood (not kiln dried) with strong 11.5 x 11.5 cm posts
- Weather protection: Surfaces flooded with glaze twice on all sides at the factory to reduce swelling and shrinkage behaviour; repair glaze for cut and assembly areas included in the scope of delivery.
- High-quality roof covering: 20 mm roof boarding with fully bonded EPDM foil - durable, elastic and UV-resistant
- Post anchoring: Including 60 cm H-post anchor made of galvanised flat steel for setting in concrete in point foundations to be created on site.
- Roof finish: Profiled wood trim with aluminium end edge for a clean, durable finish
Treatment and care instructions:
- The wood is protected by the water-based impregnation, but has an increased residual moisture content. Minor drying cracks or resin leakage are natural characteristics and do not reduce the structural strength.
- The kit is pre-treated at the factory so that you can start assembly immediately after delivery. An enclosed repair quantity of glaze enables the professional post-treatment of drill holes and cut surfaces. If you would like an additional finish, we recommend light sanding and a coat of high-quality glaze after assembly.
- When selecting the stain, make sure it has good UV protection and follow the manufacturer's processing guidelines. Recommended maintenance intervals are approx. 4-5 years, but at the latest before visible damage occurs.
Technical and planning-relevant information:
- Stability: Connecting the posts with the supplied H-anchors creates a stable and permanent anchoring in the concrete point foundation.
- Foundation: The size and design of the point foundations can be found in the assembly instructions. On request, you can receive the appropriate foundation plan together with the anchors - please specify when ordering.
- Laying the EPDM foil: The EPDM roof covering is supplied as a large-area foil and cold-bonded. EPDM is characterised by its high elasticity, long service life and very good UV protection.
The Friesland carport impresses with its well thought-out details, high-quality materials and easy assembly. It is ideal for customers looking for a durable, visually appealing and functional canopy for their outdoor area.
Construction
The construction is made of impregnated softwood. Spruce and pine wood, which is not technically-dried, acquires its greenish color from metal salts released by the impregnating agent. They protect wood against fungus and insect infestations, but do not contain UV protection. Impregnation gives wood higher residual moisture. Subsequent drying can lead to release of resin, twisting and formation of drying cracks, which pose no static disadvantage and rather reflect the natural materials used.
Color treatment
The color pre-treated parts of the building kit are treated with premium varnish and paint. This protects wood from blue stain and UV damage, as well as from swelling and fading, while still allowing the wooden texture to shine through. At the factory, parts are flow-coated twice on all sides with varnish and the excess subsequently brushed off.
You can begin with assembly immediately upon delivery, there is no need for cumbersome priming and painting. Every building kit includes enough touch-up paint or varnish to repair damage and cover screws and cut surfaces at least two times.
If you wish to further enhance the surface, lightly sand the visible surfaces and coat them with premium varnish or paint after assembly. Traces of storage on all-round color-treated components are due to technical reasons.
Roofing
Roofing consists of 19 mm-thick roof boarding with EPDM foil. EPDM foil is easy to lay, safe and durable roofing for roofs with low pitch. It features long service life, high elasticity, and excellent resistance to UV radiation. It is laid as one piece using cold bonding with the provided adhesive.
Bracing
The building kit includes 60 cm-long H-post anchors of galvanized flat steel for embedding in concrete in the site-built deep foundation (for size and lay-out see assembly instructions). They firmly connect the posts to the subsurface to ensure high stability.
